The Minister for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has warned public officers who have become fixated with their allegiance to be careful and remember that power is transient.
He reminded them that they had limited time in public office and so, should make good use of their time.
He stated this on his Twitter page while calling out the cowards who cannot proclaim their interest in a political group or party.
His tweet read…
“Public officers must always bear in mind the cliche that power is transient. They have limited time to make their modest contributions & bow out for others to continue. No one can annex public office as a personal chattel. That’s why I recoil from the razzmatazz of public office.
“The cowards amongst us are those who are not courageous to proclaim their fixation to a political group like some of us. They’re fixated alright, but they pretend to be neutral whilst fighting the cause of political persuasion. They’ll soon realize there’s no backdoor to power.
“Some have become so fixated on their political allegiance that they HATE anyone that have not suffered their kind of emotional arrest. Fixation is loyalty and it is not bad. Politics, like religion, is about loyalty. It is the resultant hatred for others that bothers on stupidity.
“The preoccupation of the ‘common man’ should not be to deride their ‘heroes’ who are going into public office. Their concern should be that their ‘heroes’ do not lose the characteristics of empathy and compassion in the whole revelry that is commonly associated with public office.”
